§ MR. WATT (Glasgow, College)I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland what was the valuation for rating before the sale took place of the 52 acres at Kilcreggan, Dumbartonshire, sold to the War Office, or, if they were not separately valued, what were the valuation and area of the farm of which they formed part; and what are now the valuations for rating of that area of 52 acres and of the rest of that farm respectively.
§ THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR WAR (Mr. HALDANE, Haddington)The valuation of 52 acres at Kilcreggan sold to the War Department was, prior to sale, £60; the present ex gratia contribution to rates remains on £60 basis. The original valuation of the entire farm—470 acres, including eight cottages—was £162. The present valuation of the remaining portion is £102, including eight cottages.
